Felanitx offers several distinct points of interest for a culture-focused trip: the Via Crucis Urbà in the historic old town, the Parroquia de Sant Miquel, the Col·lecció Museogràfica Fundació Cosme Bauçà, as well as market and cultural events. There are also tours and tastings at Celler Vi d'Auba. The options range from architecture and religious history to collection objects, events and wine. When planning, it helps to distinguish between buildings and collections on the one hand, and events tied to specific calendar dates on the other.

Via Crucis Urbà: Stations of the Cross through the old town

The Via Crucis Urbà runs through the streets of Felanitx's historic old town and dates back to the early 18th century. Along the Stations of the Cross, visitors can view the stone bas-reliefs that make up the route. In this way, the route connects the urban landscape with religious art. Those who enjoy exploring Felanitx through its buildings and artworks will find a thematic experience here that differs from a museum visit.

Church architecture and El Calvari

The Parroquia de Sant Miquel was built in the 16th century. Its single-nave layout defines the interior space; at the main portal, Gothic Revival forms combine with Balearic Churrigueresque style. Inside, stained-glass windows beneath a ribbed vault depict the Evangelists. The floor plan, portal and interior furnishings thus offer different perspectives on church architecture.

The chapel of El Calvari was completed in 1856. Today, El Calvari is an oratory dedicated to Santo Cristo del Calvari. Solemn celebrations are held at the sanctuary every year: on the Sunday near September 8, the anniversary of the coronation of the Virgin Mary, and on the first Sunday after Easter. Since the dates depend on the days of the week and the Easter calendar, check the exact dates for your travel year in advance.

Museum, library and collections

The main collection of the Col·lecció Museogràfica Fundació Cosme Bauçà is ethnographic. It includes kitchen utensils, agricultural items, and tools and instruments from various trades. The collection also features African sculptures, small figures of Hindu deities, Japanese netsuke and figures from the traditional Mallorcan Nativity scene. The different groups of objects offer several cultural perspectives, without limiting the collection to a single theme.

The library of the Col·lecció Museogràfica Fundació Cosme Bauçà contains manuscripts and books about Felanitx and Mallorca. Several local and external press collections can also be consulted there. This complements the collection objects with reading material on the history of Felanitx and the island.

Weekly market, Nitx de l’Art and wine

Felanitx's weekly market takes place on the last day of each week, except when that day falls on an Easter, Christmas or New Year's holiday. Items on offer include food, handicrafts, clothing and shoes. The market is a recurring event, while Nitx de l’Art takes place annually.

During Nitx de l’Art, exhibitions, live music and other activities bring the streets of Felanitx to life. The event marks the start of the Sant Agustí festivities. Individual editions and programmes may change, so check the dates and programme for the year if the event is important to your trip.

Celler Vi d'Auba offers tours and wine tastings. Visitors can learn about the production process and sample the products. Tours and tastings thus complement the historical and museum-focused attractions with an insight into winemaking.
